Mr. Speaker, New Democrats are proud that we forced the government for a historic expansion of medicare to include dental care for the first time. That, alongside our push to double the GST rebate, means that families will save up to $1,700 on average per year. We have also forced the government, for the first time ever, to have strings attached to investments to fight the climate crisis, which require guarantees of good wages and good union jobs. If the government is running out of ideas, we have more. Will the government take the housing crisis seriously and finally build more homes that people can afford faster?

Mr. Speaker, they want more, so at least I will move a motion. I move: That the motion be amended by deleting all the words after the word “That” and substituting the following: “the House reject the government's budget statement since it will cost every Canadian household $4,200 and it fails to make Canada work for the people who have done the work, namely: (a) bring home powerful paycheques with lower taxes, including scrapping the carbon tax; (b) bring home lower prices by ending inflationary debt and deficits that drive up inflation and interest rates; and (c) bring homes people can afford by removing government gatekeepers to free up land and speed up building permits.
